FullOppositeRudder,

I wonder how well that works in practice?
A couple of snippets from a previous thread on the subject.....

Even used it to call ops before now while sat in the hold. My experience has been that over a certain speed the network just can't catch up!
The F.O. managed to get an SMS away at 35,000' when his mobile phone briefly picked up a signal. It wasn't a reliable signal though.
